Trying Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why should I suffer so much on this land?
Jah Jah knows that I am a talented man
Why should I suffer so much on this land?
Jah Jah knows that I am a trying man
Gonna find my way to get along
Will someone help me with my song?
There's a rise and fall for everyone
Because when I fall, I know I'll rise again
I keep on searching for the things that I want
'Cause when I'm gone
I'll know that I am gone
Ooh yeah
I'll know I'm gone
Ooh yeah
I keep on searching for the things that I want
Because when I'm gone
I'll know that I am gone
Why should I suffer so much on this land?
Jah Jah knows that I am a talented man
Why should I suffer so much on this land?
Jah Jah knows that I am a trying man
Why should I suffer so much on this land?
Jah Jah knows that I am a trying man
